You both don't know
That I'm here watching alone
My worst fear, now my home.."

While I stay under the august moon
And I pray sleep comes soon..."

"I know what I'm gonna say
When I go, who I'm gonna blame
In this pain, in this goodbye
And I'm brave, broken down
And I crave the very ground
That I'm slave to
And I'll cry on.."
-meaning that she's ready to break up, and she knows who to blame, which is him, and that shes brave enough to tell him that its over even though she's hurt of what she's seen.
